MD-SEN: Trone tops Alsobrooks by double digits in Maryland Democratic Senate primary race: Survey

Rep. David Trone (D-Md.) leads Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobrooks by double digits in the Democratic primary for the Maryland Senate race, according to a new poll.

The survey, released by FOX45 News, the Baltimore Sun and the University of Baltimore and conducted by OpinionWorks, found Trone leading Alsobrooks, 48 percent to 29 percent, when respondents are asked to consider the entire Democratic primary field.

However, when Trone and Alsobrooks are put in a head-to-head matchup, Trone receives 50 percent support among Democratic primary respondents while Alsobrooks receives 38 percent.

On the GOP side, former Gov. Larry Hogan (R) holds a large double-digit lead with 69 percent support among Republican primary respondents, followed by 12 percent who are undecided or not sure and 9 percent who support former Del. Robin Ficker (R).

i'm wondering if some of these saner repubs can be defeated with negative ads showing that they do not love dear leader enough to be worthy of maga support?

It was recently bought by a very right wing owner.

"The Baltimore Sun was bought last month by David D. Smith, a media executive known for his conservative political advocacy. He's already changing the nearly 200-year-old newspaper.Feb 26, 2024"

The Sun was not the only sponsor of the poll.

I am NOT saying that poll is the be all and end all of the race atm, but I constantly see people here try to excuse away polls they do not like and yet trumpet polls they do like in terms of results.

“likely Democrat,” and it’s been over three decades since a Republican was able to win a federal statewide election in the Old Line State, according to Roll Call – proving the Maryland Senate race will still be hard-fought.

The latest polling was conducted between April 7 and April 10 with 1,292 general election voters surveyed in total. The margin of error is plus 3 percentage points.

The respondents included 600 likely Democratic primary voters with a margin of error of 4 percentage points. Some 451 likely Republican primary voters were also surveyed with a margin of error of 4.6 percentage points.'

They didn't ask me.

Rep. Jamie Raskin endorses Alsobrooks in high-stakes Md. Senate race.

Don't get me wrong, I like Alsobrooks, and won't be sad if she wins, but hen both US Senators will be from the DC suburbs and I want a senator that is based in Baltimore.
